A judge has upheld the results of May's local option election, which allowed some Campbellsville restaurants to serve alcohol.

Last May, Campbellsville voters approved a measure allowing restaurants in Campbellsville seating at least 50 people and deriving at least 70 percent of their revenue from food sales to serve alcohol by the drink. However, alcohol can only be served in conjunction with a meal.

Auto insurance companies will give varying discounts to graduates of the class. Participants should call 465-4511 by if they are interested so workbooks can be ordered. Cost is $3 and participants should bring their own lunch.

Red roses sway gently in the breeze, ready to be placed on the grave in remembrance.

It is quiet.

A long line of police cars stops at Campbellsville Memorial Gardens. The caravan continues as far as one can see, their blue lights flashing. Police officers from around the state stand to the side at attention.

Lebanon Police officers place their hands upon the hearse, which carries the body of slain police officer David M. Ford. They walk together as the vehicle slowly makes its way to the burial plot.

Nearly 3,000 Kentucky Utilities customers lost power for a little less than an hour Tuesday evening.

"We had a breaker switch go bad in one of Campbellsville's substations," said Cliff Feltham, KU's statewide media relations manager. "2,750 customers were affected. They were off for a bit less than an hour."

Feltham said the customer load was switched to other substations so that crews could repair the switch on Wednesday.

My cell phone rang just after 7 Sunday evening. By habit, I glanced at the screen, but I didn't recognize the number.

"Hello?"

The voice on the phone was one I hadn't heard in nine years. It belonged to a high school friend with whom I had lost touch. For the next hour, we caught up with one another's lives. We hung up with a promise to not lose touch again.
